When is an apparent suicide not a suicide? When it turns out to be an alleged second degree homicide.

19 year old construction worker Diego Pillco of Brooklyn, NY has been charged in the murder of actress Adrienne Shelly. Diego Pillco has allegedly confessed to the murder. Diego Pillco allegedly punched the 5 ft. 2 inch actress after she had complained about the noise he was making in the West Village apartment where Shelly’s office was located. Pillco then admitted to dragging her body to her office and put her in the shower to have it appear to be a suicide. Diego Pillco is being charged with second degree murder.

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK Prosecutors have charged a man with murdering actress Adrienne Shelly, who was found hanging from a shower rod in her West Village office last Wednesday, CBS 2 News has learned. Sources tell CBS 2’s Ti-Hua Chang a construction worker has allegedly confessed to the crime.

He then allegedly admitted to dragging the body up to her office, and positioning her in the shower to make her death look like a suicide.

The medical examiner’s office had not yet ruled whether the death of the petite actress best known for her roles in the Hal Hartley films “Trust” and “The Unbelievable Truth” was a homicide or a suicide.

Police had been hesitant to label the case a suicide after no suicide note was found and sneaker prints that didn’t match Shelly’s shoes were found in the bathtub.

i’ve seen her in a couple of tv shows and movies,it’s hard to imagine something like this happening to somebody so beautifull!my heart goes out to her family.this was somebody you really liked the minute she appeared on the screen.

1. If our southern border was more secure, Diego Pillco would not be
here in this country and Adrienne Shelly would be alive.

2. If the person who hired Diego Pillco, did the right thing and hire
only document workers, Adrienne Shelly would be alive.

To Sorboni Bann,

You have a very narrow mind. What cause and effect are you talking about???? So do you think by closing the U.S border crime/violence is going to go down???

Do some research before you open your mouth.

I condemn what this motherfucker Pillco did. Nobody has the right to kill. And I hope justice preveils. However, Pillco doesn’t represent a whole population. It’s just an isolated case. He’s a murder and he just happens to be an immigrant. But that doesn’t mean that all immigrants (legal or illegal) are murders and viceversa.

Your cause and effect theory is Bull Shit at its best. “If my grandmother wasn’t dead,she would be alive.” “If I had 100 million dollars, I’d be the richest man in town”

What about the 9/11 ??? All the motherfuck***’n terrorists enter the country LEGALLY and see what they did!! ???

Your legal status has absolutely nothing to do with your behavior/actions. If you’re stupid is has nothing to do with your ethnicity. If you’re a killer it has nothing to do with the country you come from.

you illiterate piece of crap, you can’t say anything without dropping the F-BOMB
can you. I can tell you came from a public school I guess that’s the way you like people to talk to you.

by the way the terroist were here on expired visa’s i’ll put in your terms: DUMB ASS
that means they were here illegally.

to quote you:”Your legal status has absolutely nothing to do with your behavior/actions. If you’re stupid is has nothing to do with your ethnicity. If you’re a killer it has nothing to do with the country you come from.”

so I guess as long as your here it doesn’t matter
to you if anyone is here illegally as long as they don’t commit any crimes. But I guess being illegal isn’t commiting a crime. just like running a stop sign and not getting caught isn’t a crime even if you hit another car.

if you don’t like our current laws just break them like the illegals do. Or should you ask Congress to repeal the LAW saying anyone may come to the USA without any background checks or any other requirements even if they have diseases they can transmit
